The game marks the 102nd meeting between the teams. The series with the Huskies is tied for the second-most played all-time for the Beavers, with Washington State, whom Oregon State took on Sept. 16 in Pullman.
Oregon State trails in the series, 63-34-4. The Huskies have won five straight after the Beavers had won seven of the previous eight, including six consecutive from 2004-09.
Saturday's matchup is the earliest meeting between the teams since 1995 when Washington won a 26-16 matchup in Corvallis.
That 1995 meeting, in fact, marked the first and only time the teams have met in the month of September, prior to Saturday's game.

On This Date —

Oregon State last played on Sept. 30 in 2006, dropping a 41-13 decision to California in Corvallis.
OSU has played on Sept. 30 11 times, going 5-6. That includes a 31-21 win over No. 8 USC in 2000 at then-Parker Stadium.

Against Washington —

Washington leads in the series, 63-34-4 and is 20-10 in games played in Corvallis. The Huskies have won five consecutive games, but the Beavers had taken 7-of-8 prior to the streak's start in 2012.
Oregon State started a stretch of eight wins in 11 games in 2001 after the Huskies had won 13 straight between 1986 and 2000. In 2000, UW's 33-30 win was the Beavers' lone loss en route to a co-Pac-10 Championship and a win over Notre Dame in the Fiesta Bowl.
OSU's 49 points scored in that 2001 game remain the team's most in a single contest against Washington.
Tim Cook rushed for 108 yards and a touchdown and Victor Bolden, Jr., scored on a 75-yard rush in last season's matchup, a 41-17 loss to the Huskies. Amongst returners, Jordan Villamin and Timmy Hernandez each had two receptions and Bright Ugwoegbu tallied six tackles.

Smith was Oregon State's starter through the 2001 season, which included a victory in the 2000 Fiesta Bowl after the Beavers were co-Pac-10 champions.
Smith ended his OSU career with 9,680 passing yards and 55 passing touchdowns. He still holds the school record with a 97-yard pass to Chad Johnson in 2000 against Stanford.

Sixty-Five Candles —

Ken Austin created the first Benny Beaver costume and would be the first to serve as the lovable mascot, who will officially celebrate his birthday Sept. 29 at Reser Stadium.
Austin, along with his wife, Joan D., are amongst the university's biggest donors and OSU's new College of Business building is named in their honor – Austin Hall.

A Chance At Tuition —

Oregon State University students will have the opportunity to compete for a chance to win in-state tuition (valued at up to $12,000) for the 2017-18 academic year sponsored by Dutch Bros Coffee this Saturday in the game versus the Huskies.
Ten Oregon State students, who have downloaded a ticket to the game at beavertickets.com/students, will be randomly selected to participate in the tuition contest. Students will be notified at halftime via a PA announcement in the stadium if they have been selected to participate. Current OSU student-athletes are ineligible to compete.
The selected students will compete on the field following the third quarter.

September 30 Notables —

Ken Simonton rushed for 234 yards in the 2000 game against USC, held September 30 in Corvallis. At the time, that was the second-best single-game total in OSU history, behind only Bill Enyart's 299 versus Utah in 1968. Steven Jackson has since surpassed Simonton with 239 yards against California in 2002.
Alexis Serna tied the OSU record for longest field goal at 58 yards in the 2006 game against California. He equaled Chris Mangold's 58-yard make in 1982 against San Jose State.

Red Zone —

Oregon State is one of 17 teams - three in the Pac-12 - nationally that has scored on every appearance in the red zone this season.
The Beavers have been in the red zone nine times, scoring eight touchdowns and a field goal.
OSU had also entered the red zone nine times through the first four games of 2016, scoring on eight of those drives.

Nall For 100, Again —

Ryan Nall's 118 rushing yards against Washington State gave him eight such efforts in his career. That ties him with Bryce Oglesby (1980-83) for ninth-most at OSU.
Nall can move into a tie for seventh with Bill Enyart (1966-68) and J.J. Young (1991-94) with his ninth.
He now has an Oregon State record three carries of at least 75 yards in his career after scoring on a 75-yarder against CSU. His others include 89 yards against Washington State and 80 against California, both coming in 2016.

From Hawai'i —

Twelve players hail from the state of Hawai'i, which gives Oregon State the most players to hail from the islands, aside from the University of Hawai'i.

Dream Come True —

Unitus Community Credit Union and Oregon State have partnered to create the "Dream Come True" Program to fulfill one child's dream. It is designed for children who are or have battled an unfortunate illness and includes hosting a child for every home Beaver football game during the 2017 season. Dream Come True will help provide a lasting experience to children eighth grade age or younger (per NCAA regulations) and their families who are facing or have faced an unfortunate time of illness. For more information, visit osubeavers.com/dreamcometrue.
This week's child is Stephen, an 11-year-old who just declared cancer free - he beat Acute Myeloid Leukemia.
Stephen loves Nerf games, playing Minecraft and Oregon State football.
His aunt is former Oregon State gymnast Traci Crover, who was inducted into the Oregon State Hall of Fame in 2005.

Fans are encouraged to donate by texting "CURE" to 50555 or visiting CoachtoCureMD.org.
